Select the grammatically correct sentence.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. It is obvious that a child needs love and attention of parents
Error concept: incorrect use of article
What is wrong: Some options incorrectly use “the”, “a”, or “an” before obvious, which is not required here.
Grammatical concept: When using “It is obvious that…”, no article is needed before obvious. Also, “a child” is correct because we are referring to any child, not a specific one.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Using “the obvious” or “a obvious” or “an obvious” is grammatically incorrect in this context.
How to correct: Use “obvious” without any article and include “a” before child.
Correct phrase: It is obvious that a child needs love and attention of parents
Final sentence: It is obvious that a child needs love and attention of parents.
Hence, the chosen option is correct
